'We're in sticker shock': Towns seek state aid for Franklin Tech building project

Municipalities in Franklin County are urging the Massachusetts School Building Authority to reform reimbursement formulas following voter approval of a $236.6 million project for the Franklin County Technical School. With the state covering only a portion of costs, member towns face a $122.8 million burden. Several cities, including Greenfield, have formally requested supplemental capital funding to help manage the significant financial impact on their local budgets.
